Problem: Oil and gas inspections are dangerous, costly and lengthy. To maintain compliance with government regulations, these inspections must occur regularly. Implementing unmanned aerial system (UAS) technology to gather imagery and data means inspections can occur with less human risk, less cost and more often.

Requirements: To improve employee safety, reduce cost of inspections and decrease time required to complete inspections, Trumbull Unmanned required a system that:

The vertical takeoff and landing UAS can be used during normal refinery operations, meaning the systems don’t have to be shut down during inspections. Indago can capture these detailed images from 300 feet away and can be used in all weather, even when manned aircraft are grounded.
